Product description

This recall involves Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C. The product is a linseed oil-based stain.

Hazard identified

The product contains linseed oil which can undergo spontaneous heating, leading to ignition of the product. The lack of the required warnings could lead to improper use of the product and present a flammability hazard leading to serious injury or fire.
